surgery late February in Houston. I am in a lot of pain and for quite a while now. As usual, the pain is worse in the morning and by about 7-8 p.m each day. I am scheduled for an approximate nine level fusion from about T-9 to pelvis. Of course, I am quite nervous and really don't even know what to expect. I have read posts here extensively in the last few weeks. I have gone onto Amazon and purchased aids of all sorts. Will someone answer and let me know what to expect post surgery -- pain, what I might be able to do on my own, items that I might purchase to help, etc? I am really appreciate of any and all help that you can give. I have been in a lot of pain for quite a while and finally after all the injections, etc, laminectomy of L-4 to L-5 and clean out around my sciatic nerve (last March), a new doctor ordered a long frame
x ray series and a full spine MRI. I am so very thankful for that doctor. I have terrible sciatic pain and pain in my feet from the nerve being impinged. I say all this to give a bit of background. My surgery is scheduled for two days near the end of February. I am 60 years old and I do have a wonderful husband, daughter and step children who are very sweet. Thanks so much for any and all help.
